The review terms 2011 ‘The Decisive Year for the MMRCA,’ suggesting the winner of the contest to sell India 126 medium multi-role combat aircraft could be announced this fortnight.

😮

Really, it should not be that complicated to grasp.
The Rafale can be a better plane all I want, as far
as far as present case is concerned, the Gripen fits!

You replace the F-5, not the Hornets or Mirage yet.

😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 Same plane spread fourty-five years!

You should never face a high intensity air attack or
it will definetly be quite late in the day anyhow :rolleyes:
France and or Germany/Eastern Europe/the US fleet
in the Mediterranean having been ran over it seems.:D

The article mentions “an elevated capacity to operate
from opportunity or small dimensions runways”?
As they do in both countries, Sweden and Switzerland,
from the road to the word.

There is an existing cooperation between the countries’
industrials, no trust problems.

Smallish budget.

Evident, I’m telling you my dear Watson!

Good day all, Tay.

The capacity in the fight is worth 30 %, the noise 3 %

The criteria of the evaluation and their level-headedness contain three main domains:
1 ° The operational efficiency (that is the qualities of fight) weighs 60 %. She(it) is still divided into 4:
Fight air-air(air-sight) (30 %)
Air-to-ground fight (12 %)
Gratitude(Recognition) (12 %)
Development potential (6 %)

2 ° The operational adaptation which is worth 15 % is so subdivided:
Examination of the processes of interview(maintenance) (4,5 %)
Adaptation to the exploitation(operation) by the militia (3,75 %)
Compatibility with the existing Swiss infrastructure (3,75 %)
Importance of the noise and the other harmful broadcasts(emissions,issues) (3 %)

3 ° The cooperation and the compensation are worth, them, 25 %. Or:
Economic compensations by means of contracts with Swiss companies (17,5 %)
Possibilities of military cooperation (7,5 %).

Sorry for the automated translation.
Good day all, Tay.

Drone of the day #8.

Not yet a drone but I thought those who hadn’t seen it
would appreciate.

Who knows, maybe …

Good day all, Tay

A nice sleek pic of the Phoon in my fave for it :
The Half-Dozen Config.

Good night all, Tay.

RIP 🙁

MBDA buys Viper Strike off Northrop.

Also posted with Viper Strike’s first use in the General UCAV/UAV thread.

Good day all, Tay.

Yes MrMalaya but the project is now a shared work with Sukhoi
as the newly annointed Tsar of Russian military aeronautics.

Their site does not mention it but do check the drone AWACS 😀

This does though :

On a very different note, the Russians can still be wacko LOL
This, if ever available, will be the second best ever mili export
for Russia after the U.S.S.R.’s Kalachnikov :

Should be quite the fancy of terrorist from all persuasions.
Next time you’ll leave Heathrow, the “Tighten your seatbelts”
line will be more realistic as the SLCBHS has planned a bumpy ride:eek:

Secret London Cats Before Humans Society, of course!
They’re very pissed ( pun intended ) at the general public
for trying to maintain the use of squares around town on
the fallacious intent of kid’s playgrounds when it is so clear
that they are truly the Magnificient Celestial Litterboxes! :diablo:
😎

Good evening all, Tay.
